Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 70 The Perfect Couple
Lu Shaoqing, is Lin a bad person?

Not really, I’m just too selfish.

The couple who were only interested in profit raised the selfish Lu Feng and Lu Yunxiu, who were of the same bloodline.

But can she kill all the people in the Lu family with one blow?
Lu Yunshu is kind and gentle, Zhang knows right from wrong, and Lu Yuntang is lively and cute. None of them have ever done anything bad to her and they are all good people.

"Sister-in-law, there is something I don't understand." Lu Jing looked at her, his eyes reflecting fire, but with a bit of coldness, "You are sure that it was your brother and Li Xueying who killed you. The princess has been kind to you, why don't you ask her to make the decision for you?"

"I have no evidence." Su Qingwan said, "How can I, a daughter of a merchant, fight against the Lu family and the Anping Marquis's Mansion with only one side's testimony?"

"Well, if that's the case, since you hate your brother for being so unfaithful, why do you want to stay in the Lu family and even ask for an iron certificate to protect the descendants of the Lu family?" Lu Jing's words were sharper than the last. "You are arrogant and can't tolerate any injustice. Since you have given up on your brother and you are rich, you can divorce and take away your dowry, and your life will be more comfortable than in the Lu family. Why do you want to stay?"

If there wasn't something unusual about him, he wouldn't have suspected his sister-in-law for so long.

"I didn't ask for the imperial decree and the red certificate. It was the princess who asked for it privately to thank you for saving my life. She hoped that I could rely on the Lu family. I often told the princess that I was the daughter of a merchant and was not worthy of being on the stage in the eyes of officials. The princess pitied me and protected me, so she gave me the imperial decree and the imperial decree. I never told the princess about the Lu family. Family disgrace should not be made public. The princess didn't know about the conflict between Lu Feng and me." Su Qingwan already had her own explanation. "Speaking of divorce... Third brother, you know how difficult it is for a woman to survive in this world. Even if you are rich, if you divorce, others will only regard you as an abandoned woman, which will bring shame to the family and be criticized by others. Reputation is too important for a woman. There are countless women in the official families in the capital who are dissatisfied and resentful of their husbands, but who dares to divorce?"

Lu Jing felt her explanation was reasonable, but couldn't stand the probing. "Do you hate your brother?"

"Shouldn't I hate him? He and I were married, and he conspired with Li Xueying to kill me in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful. I'm not a saint, so naturally I hate him."

"So, you knew that my brother cared about his career and official position, so you deliberately angered Li Xueying and made her cause trouble in the princess's mansion. My brother's demotion was something you and the princess had already discussed."

"Yes!" Su Qingwan admitted generously.

Lu Jing smiled, "The princess is in charge of the Military Affairs Council. She has always only been concerned with the deployment of military supplies in the northern border battlefield. She has mostly dealt with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, and has never interfered with civil servants. She is willing to make an exception for you. We have a deep friendship."

"Thank you for saving my life. The princess said she would grant me three wishes. She just keeps her promise." Su Qingwan had already sensed that something was wrong and spoke very carefully.

Lu Jing looked at Su Qingwan deeply, "Sister-in-law, the princess is surrounded by many experts, and the secret guards and guards take turns to guard every twelve hours. I don't know when the princess will need you to save her. Such a great favor can be exchanged for the imperial edict and the iron certificate."

If you tell too many lies, there will be loopholes.

Su Qingwan had known this for a long time. She didn't want to stay in the Lu family any longer and wanted to leave after taking revenge. She insisted on staying in the Lu family because she was afraid that the eldest princess would worry about her causing trouble in the capital and wanted to send her back to the southwest.

She and the eldest princess have special reasons and can only support each other. However, due to their different positions, they have to be wary of each other. She doesn't want Lu Jing to pay too much attention to the relationship between her and the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was once the fiancée of her eldest brother. When Lu Jing suspected that she had a relationship with the Huainan assassins, Su Qingwan tried her best to clear her of suspicion because she didn't want Lu Jing to focus on the relationship between her and the princess's mansion.

Lu Jing was too smart. She was afraid that Lu Jing would unravel the truth and find out more, which would bring disaster to her and the princess.

So, even if she had let Lu Jing down.

I feel guilty.

She also wanted to kill Lu Jing to eliminate the trouble forever. If Lu Jing found out any clues, she would be merciless and take his life!

"Why do you bother to test me, Third Brother? If you don't understand, go ask the Princess. You are suspicious of everything I say anyway." Su Qingwan said sarcastically, "Since the Nanfeng Tower, you have suspected that I have something to do with the Huainan assassins. You even invited my father and mother from Jiangnan and sent Li An to guard me day and night. You are so suspicious that everything I say is in vain."

"Sister-in-law, I knelt down and kowtowed to admit my fault, but you said you would let bygones be bygones."

"As the Analects says, only villains and women are difficult to raise. We women love to bring up old scores."

"..."

Su Qingwan was clearly acting like a scoundrel, but Lu Jing saw that she didn't seem to be really angry, and it seemed more like she was doing it on purpose to irritate him.

"Let's just call it a coincidence. There are so many coincidences in this world that it's hard not to be suspicious. Sister-in-law, I have tried many times but to no avail, which is enough to prove that you have nothing to do with the Huainan assassins. I was overly suspicious in the past. Tonight, the Huainan assassins also came to the farm to kill you, and they were ruthless. I believe that you are not of the same kind as them, and the incident at Nanfeng Tower is indeed a misunderstanding."

Su Qingwan was surprised, "The ones chasing us tonight are Huainan's assassins?"

"Yes!" Lu Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility, "They are here to kill me. Ever since the assassins of Nanfeng Tower were killed, they have been looking for an opportunity for revenge."

"Li Xueying sent people to kill me, and Huainan's assassins also came. Do they... have any connection?" Su Qingwan very frankly put the blame on the Anping Marquis' Mansion.

"I will investigate this matter." Lu Jing thought to himself that this might just be a coincidence. Even if he had ten times the courage of the Earl of Anping, he would not dare to have anything to do with Huainan.

Any Beijing official who dares to have anything to do with Huainan will end up in trouble.

The civil servant group in Dayuan wished to suppress the military generals so that they would never be able to stand up.

The rainstorm was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was dark and there was no sign of the rain stopping. Outside the cave, there was a howling wind and heavy rain, and thunder was rumbling. Inside the cave, no one knew how much time was passing.

After a night of running for her life and being frightened, Su Qingwan was extremely sleepy and dozed off against a rock. Later, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the haystack without realizing it.

After Su Qingwan fell asleep, Lu Jing's eyes fell on her unscrupulously. His eldest sister-in-law had an extremely charming face. She looked weak and vulnerable, but she was tough and resilient.

He did not panic when he fell off the cliff, and remained calm as if the world was about to collapse.

She is like a peony growing in an environment full of dangers, beautiful yet dangerous.

The Xie family was a merchant family. The eldest sister-in-law seldom went out when she was in her boudoir. It was only after she came of age that she started doing business with Xie Huai, traveling between Jiangnan and Kyoto, and was escorted by people from the escort agency along the way.

How could he have such a character when he grew up smoothly?
She once had a deep love with her brother. On the New Year's Eve of the first year after the eldest sister-in-law married her brother, there was a family reunion dinner. She looked at her brother with admiration and love, her eyes shining. That was the time when they were deeply in love.

My mother once said that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
